Registration Cards Found in Trash Can
by Jim Deitch
Angry charges of fraud in the ASSC elections were brought by Unityman Omar Kureishi last night after fresh evidence of election irregularities was uncovered.
A flurry of excitement began yesterday afternoon when it was discovered that the punched yellow registration cards, which may be the key to the loud fraud charges, were missing from the university vault.

Editorial
Stench on the Avenue
Now the rotten carcass is out in plain sight for everyone to see. \
If ever fraud smelled to the high heavens, it smells on University avenue today. Need we say that we speak of the recent ASSC election?
Never has it been our sad experience to taste disgust as we have tasted it during the past few days as the full story of chicanery and dishonesty in the election has been revealed.
With the air blue from recriminations of every sort, with not only the possibility but also the distinct probability that the last had not been heard of the many elections beefs, someone has seen fit to destroy the ballots so that no recount can be taken.
But hold it a minute, that isn’t all. Duplicate registration cards suddenly “disappeared” yesterday. Next they were found in a trash can. It was the counting of these cards that first showed up the discrepancy between the number of ballots cast and the number of cards that had been punched.
Thus, it was expected, no one would ever know whether there was or was not fraud in the election.
For our part, there is no doubt. We maintain that fraud was never so apparent—never so blatantly foisted on an unsuspecting electorate—never so casually passed off by a group of persons wrho call themselves “representatives” of the student body.
For the information of those who want to know who their “representatives” are, this is the list of 21 senators

Dean to List Religion Jobs
Necessary backgrounds and opportunities for graduates in the field of religion will be outlined by Dr. Earl Cranston, dean of the School of Religion, this afternoon at 3:15 in the art and lecture room of University library.
Previewing the LAS-sponsored professional advisement talk, Dr. Cranston yesterday said “More tact and preparation is needed now. A churchman today must be an expert in his field.”
In the last speech of the Wednesday lecture series yesterday. Dr. Cranston said religion is spreading rapidly to college campuses as a result of increased student interest.
Students are demanding greater religious and spiritual guidance ana are trying to promote more religious activity on campuses throughout the country, Dr. Cranston said.
“Religion is necessary for self-control and restraint of scientific developments so they may be channeled into paths benefiting mankind,” Dr. Cranston pointed out.

bin behind the Student Union by an alert DT reporter. The cards were cut in half, apparently by a machine cutter of the type used in the university print shop.
Some of the cards were double punched.
ENTERED VAULT
Investigation revealed that Election Commissioner Bill McGurty had been allowed entrance to the vault where t.he cards were stored, apparently only minutes before they were discovered missing.
Arthur Alworth, manager of the university press, said he opened the vault for McGurty about three in the afternoon but said he did not know what McGurty did in the vault or whether he removed anything from it.
The cards were discovered missing after a Unity election investigator, Andy Anderman. went to the office of Dr. Albert Zech, counselor of men, and demanded to see them.
Anderman said McGurty had promised him the cards “would not be touched,-’ and that they would be available for investigation.
McGURTY HUNTED
Dr. Zech phoned the ticket office and was told the cards were not there. He called the university police station vault and received the same answer. He called McGurty’s fraternity house. Sigma Nu, and learned that McGurty could not be found.
Later Anderman found McGurty and told him Dr. Zech was looking for him, whereupon McGurty instead went to the ASSC president’s office, where he spent 25 minutes in a conference.
Unityman Vernon Blake went down to the university print shop vault to see if the cards were there and was informed by a woman employee that McGurty had removed them a half-hour before. Anderman and Grafton Tanquary went to the vault to check and found only empty files.
TANQUARY DOUBTS
“Up to now,” the furious Tanquary said, ‘I thought there was a great possibility that this was an honest election. Now I have extreme doubt.”
Late last night McGurty admitted he had ordered the cards destroyed in spite of his previous promise to Anderman.
Unity investigators wanted the cards to check claims that some were punched fraudulently to account for “stuffed” ballots counted in the recent election.

The choir, during its recent tour, sang in 20 cities throughout Calif, and Ariz. Under the direction of Dr. Hirt, it was chosen the best college choir in the West.

The Madrigal singers toured CaUt. cities from Laguna to Sacramento recently. In the state capital the singers were known as the “Flying Singers” because of their arrival by air.
